No Compromise

Palestinian girl, 
nowhere to run 
looks point blank down 
Israeli gun.
Time for the Soldier 
to pay for the lie.
His settlement in Zion
a good place to die!
Didn't he know 
it would end this way.
Him and her
and the hand grenade.
Cold stare in eye,
chilling grin
"Allahu Akbar" she yells,
As she pulls the pin.
Africa hears her
battle cry 
 
NO JUSTICE! 
NO SURRENDER!
NO COMPROMISE!
 
Secret police
knock down the door.
People beneath
the boards of the floor. 
Mother takes pillow in hand 
"Don't cry baby, 
you don't understand.
Noise will give 
fighters away.
That is the price 
we cannot pay." 
Cold bitter night,
Tears in eyes.
Pull pillow tight,
baby dies! 
Africa hears mother sigh.
 
NO TALKS, 
NO SURRENDER! 
NO COMPROMISE!
